To Miss

To Miss Mile o. Naire Bankville, Cash
County.
DEAREST MILE: Though it may Seem
Strange to your father, it viii not appear Sin
gular to you that Should love you for your
Self alone. Yet It would pain me to have
any one think that my motive could be double
rather than Single. What am I to do? You
are an heireSS. l am not. l cannot even
claim TO be an heir, much less million heir.
Let US be frank. love you. You love me,
do you not, for myself alone? Then we are
equals. Leave your father and trust to me.
I will cherish you to the last. With me your
heart and your dollars will be Secure. Bring
all the money you can with you, but meyer
mind the odd change. Relentle$$ly, for
Sweetness, or Sorrow, yours,
AUGUSTUS PENNY, Coachman.

He was a perfect paradox of a coachman,

A Parrot Dies from Diphtheria.

A peculiar case OF parrot dying with diph-
liberia is reported from the South Side A family
living on South West street have been afflicted
with the disease for several months During
the childrens sickness they handled the parrot,
which was great pet, very much. few days
after they had all recovered, the bird became
sick, and the family physician, happening in one
day, made ar examination of it. and found that
it had plain case of diphtheria. Its throat was
SO infamed that it could not eat anything and
all the other symptoms correspondent With the
disease that had affected the children. After
lingering for several days it died The case is
considered very remarkable one, and perhaps
has had no equal recorded. The attending phv-
stefan has made a statement of the case for the
next number of the Medical Journal.

MRS. WOODWORTHS NOISY CROWD.

The exhibit for the year 1856 is not as favor
able as that of the years 1880, 1881 and 1882
The same is doubtless true of ali yards in the
country; at leastit is of the Chicago yards,
where the largest business in the country is
DONE the indianapolis yards standing second.
To compete with Chicago, the indianapolis
yards are obliged to feed, water and rest stock
at lower rates than shippers pay at Chicago
The Chicago roads all give reduced rates to
draw the stock from central and southern Hi
nois and Missouri to that point, and the Indian
apolis management have constantly to be on the
alert or the live stock will drift to Chicago, not
wlthstanding the better accommodations the
Indianapolis yards offer The yards at this
point are admitted to be the most convenient
and comfortable in the United States
The present year promises better things for
the Indianapolis yards. There now buyers
here from all the prominent Eastern markets,
ana better prices, as rule, are paid for stock
than at the Chicago yards, and the railroad com
panies this year show disposition to give ship
pers to the indianapolis yards rates proportion
ately as low as are given to shippers to the Chi
cago yards The recent one-sided award of per
cents. out of St. Louis by a committee on arbi-
tration of the livestock pool has opened the
eyes or the arrangements of the roads bringi
stock TO the Indianapolis market to the fact that
unless they look after this business a much
larger per cent. will GO to Chicago The Indian
apolls yards however. have the advantage that
they have lower scale of rates for feeding,
watering and resting cattle than Chicago. Be-
sides, the live stock for Eastern markets shipped
via INDIANAPOLIS makes from twenty four to
thirty-six hours better time than when it is
shipped via Chicago routes
The largest receipts in one day as the Indian
apolis yards in 1886 were as follows: Dec 8.
a. $40; Aug %, 1,552; Aug. Z, 2,5l0; May 10, 246
The largest shipments in one day were MAY IA,
